Oh my love, look and see ——

[— the driver @driversvoid]

—— the sun rising from the river.

@IittIehoneys driver furrows his brows. he almost argues, really does, but he just can't find it in him. he's so drained. he keeps his arms around himself and closes his eyes with a tension seeped into his face. "..fine."

it was late, but the area wasn't dead. there were still people around, doing things. the reader gets a call just before midnight. when they pick up, for a moment there's only shuttering breaths. then drivers voice is coming through. "'m sorry." [ ++ ]

@L33SPICS driver gets drowsy. it's nice in lee's car. lee is here, he's only a little cold from the blood loss, and he's getting sleepy, he shuts his eyes, a hand protectively on his waist as they head towards his apartment.

@L33SPICS driver bites back another sound. his voice is shaky. "alley behind a bar. near the end of town." he musters. "can you- can you some gauze, or- or something?" he asks quietly.

i loved you once， i loved you twice. i loved you in my previous lives， and when i die， just keep in mind i'll love you in another life.

@IittIehoneys driver tenses more, if that's even possible. he stands shakily and makes it to her car. he's hesitant to get in it. something about bleeding out in her car feels like nauseating déjà vu, he gets in anyway, feeling a little sick, "you can just drop me off at mine." he says.

[— the driver @driversvoid]

@L33SPICS driver does his best to get there by himself, not wanting to rely on lee more than he has already. he limps to his car and lowers himself in with a groan. he hopes he doesnt bleed through. he'd hate to get blood in lee's car. the thought makes him nauseous. it's all too familiar.

@IittIehoneys driver is wearing his jacket, but it's easy to see he's been sliced up on his chest and waist, and that there's blood on his thigh. he sighs as she approaches, his eyes heavy.

[— the driver @driversvoid]

@IittIehoneys driver winces at both her headlights and hearing her brakes screech. his arm goes up to shield his eyes until she turns her car off. even though she's here he speaks into the phone until she comes closer. "no hospitals." he says.

[— the driver @driversvoid]

@L33SPICS driver lets lee patch him up the best he can and then he makes to stand. he's mostly using his back for leverage. "should get going." he says, a little breathlessly. he sways as he steps away from the wall.

[— the driver @driversvoid]

@IittIehoneys driver peers out into the alleyway even though he knows she'll be a few minutes. "there's a showhouse a few blocks from me. hard to miss it." he adds, just to help any way he can. he already feels like a huge burden asking her for this.

@L33SPICS driver didn't flinch much when lee pressed the gauze to his wounds. he looked up at the sky with lazy, bleary eyes. "i own a first-aid kit, yes." he says simply. he shifts and that's when he does wince.

[— the driver @driversvoid]

@L33SPICS driver shot lee a pained look. "i won't go to a hospital." he said, even though he was shaky and pale and still bleeding. "you can just drop me back off at my apartment, after you get some gauze on me."

[— the driver @driversvoid]

@IittIehoneys driver assessed himself and then tried to think of a way to say it out loud without making meli's worry worse. "just a few cuts, really." he said.

[— the driver @driversvoid]

@L33SPICS driver brought a shaky, pale hand to unzip his jacket. fuck, his jacket had been through enough. he opened it. obviously the slashes went through his shirt and skin as well. they were deep, long cuts into his skin. "you know i don't like them." he said a little flatly. he hurt.

[— the driver @driversvoid]

@L33SPICS driver tries to relax and let lee tend to him. it's not easy. there's two huge tears in his jacket that are covered in blood, and his thigh is covered in it. he's mostly just happy to see lee. "there were-" he sighs. "some guys. i was outnumbered."

[— the driver @driversvoid]

@IittIehoneys driver thinks about it. it takes him a little too long to respond. "yeah, sure." he says. he curls up a little and fights back a noise of pain. "were you sleeping..?"

[— the driver @driversvoid]

@L33SPICS driver hung up the phone and deposited it lamely in his lap. he closes his eyes and just.. waits. he thinks he falls asleep for a while and doesn't rouse until he hears a car come close by.

[— the driver @driversvoid]

@IittIehoneys driver rested his head against the concrete wall of a building, looking to the opening of the alleyway he was in. he held the phone shakily to his ear. "..by a bar, just before you reach the outskirts of town." his voice was weak. "i'm sorry, meli." he says. he exhales shakily.
